Majestic India – Agra & Jaipur

The drive to Agra from Delhi was around five hours. The Indian countryside was beautiful. Fields full of blooming yellow mustard flowers with sights of horse-carts and camel-carts carrying big loads of hay took our breath away.

Majestic India – Kashmir

Gaya Traveller

Majestic India – Kashmir

Kashmir is the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent. It is a disputed territory, claimed by both India and Pakistan, with some areas also claimed by China. Security is very tight in Kashmir due to its political unrest. We were quite worried about our safety in Kashmir prior to the trip. Google results on Kashmir all bore similar results (which we were still we not convinced): while it is sometimes quite uncertain and dangerous for locals, places inundated with tourists in Kashmir are usually safe. But known to many as a paradise on earth, we figured it would be worth the risk.

Majestic India – Delhi

Gaya Traveller

Majestic India – Delhi

If there is one word to describe Delhi, it is chaotic. Honking is everywhere and drivers driving as if they own the road. It’s dusty, it’s unruly, it’s awesome! If asked to describe India in two words, it would be “wonderfully chaotic”. Get yourself in the middle of an Indian traffic and you will understand what we mean. Just remember to have a sense of humour about everything and be glad that it was not you who is driving.
